Synopsis

Miss Alice Wright should be content. After all, her knowledge of herbal lore helps so many in her village. Yet she longs for more. For Alice dreams of becoming a famed parfumier in London, celebrated for her fine scents . . . even as her family's past warns her of the perils of ambition. But when Alice collides—quite literally—with a charismatic gentleman in a field of lavender, her perfume-filled dream is suddenly within reach.

Lord Felix Brightman is certain that no one can see through his clever disguise as a stable hand. How else could he, the Earl of Enderley, accurately gauge the management of his Cornwall estate? But a pretty maiden sees through his façade instantly. So he offers Alice a deal: if she helps him out, he'll do everything he can to help her realize her dream . . .

Yet attraction simmers in the air between them, and it's not long before Alice and Felix find themselves tempted to compromise any notions of propriety. After all, lust leads to disaster. Marriage is out of the question. And Alice is determined that nothing shall stop her from pursuing her passions . . . even if the road to London—and certain success—could lead to certain ruin.

Contains mature themes.

About Eva Devon

USA Today bestselling author Eva Devon was raised on literary fiction, but quite accidentally and thankfully, she was introduced to romance one Christmas by Johanna Lindsey's Malory novella, The Present. A romance addict was born. She devoured every single Lindsey novel within a few months and moved on to contemporary and paranormal with gusto. Now, she loves to write her own roguish dukes, alpha males, and the heroines who tame them.

I forgot how much fun historical romances can get when reading. The banter is great, it's a little instalove but the tension between the two do them is there. It's a dual pov which I love with romances. The story does take a turn in the plot halfway through. I wish it just had the singular plot abou......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on June 09, 2024

This is a slow paced, cozy, romantic read. Low anxiety moments, sweet commentary and 3🌶️ spice. It was a nice quick palette cleanser read. There was more description than dialogue which was fine. While the characters may have reached climax, the story itself was anti-climatic with everything that co......more

I voluntarily read and reviewed this advanced copy from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I discovered Eva Devon's books last year and now I'm giddy every time I spot a new one in the catalog. They're incredibly tender and her heroines are so well written.
